Sometimes, when a player is loaned out, it isn't as much he isn't required as his development needs are being considered.

In the case of Luton Town, we think any loan moves they make in the January window will be with one eye on the player's continued education, rather than not being needed.

Nathan Jones is a shrewd manager who has assembled a squad in which almost all of his players are required on some level, as cover or as part of the League One assault.

They've started life in that division competitively and will continue to fight at the right end of the table with the quality they have at their disposal.

That makes it hard for the younger players to break through, which is where we see value from the loan market. FLW identifies two players we think Luton Town will loan out this winter to further their football experience.

The former Basingstoke forward has one EFL Trophy goal so far this season, but just one appearance in the Championship.

He's just 20-years old and went on loan to Boreham Wood last season, meaning another National League loan is highly likely when the window opens in January.

Tomlinson is very highly rated at Kenilworth Road, he's 17-years old and is their youngest ever player having come off the bench for them in the 2017/17 EFL Trophy.

There's surely s spell of senior football in his immediate future and like Jarvis, he would benefit from some National League football.
